We had a flood a couple of weeks ago (leaking shower)
Didnt think there was a problem with the laminate flooring in the utility room - directly below where the shower was, but when the assessors came round they ripped it up to view it!
Anyway - the flooring wa laid on 22mm MDF board, which whilst it looks a bit grubby, doesnt seem to have suffered. It is completely dry and no warping or anything.
having gone off laminat, have now decided to tile the area instead.
I appreciate the potential problem with expansion, but the tiling shop I asked it said it wouldnt be a problem and said I just needed to use a special adhesive that would allow for movement.
OK, but it got me thinking.... does that mean the tiles are not really bonding to the boards primed with UPVA?
Anyone know?
